Hmmmnnn..Hardcore..For me it's all about the rage, the blackness, the raw side of the soul as well as pushing boundaries/limits...Of late, with electronic music of this style, it seems to have gone along the path of technical ability with all passion and fresh ideas set to the side...I mean, you can now probably count on the fingers of one hand, the artists who put tracks out that actually let you peer into that persons heart, or envisage that moment as if it existed in your own memory...On the other hand technical ability is all well and good, as long as it's in keeping with the times, like Hardcore used to have going for it, now it's mainly just a rehash of age old ideas, anything that isn't gets pushed to the wayside because it doesn't sell, or it's not dancefloor enough...There's no 'Hard' about it, like someone I know said, "piss weak comedy", seems to be the flavour of the day, I mean IMO, Shitmat takes it too far and whoever that Scotch Egg idiot is, ****...It's shit like that, that is going to kill it, if it isn't already...
